What are the free options for creating use case diagrams under Windows? I need some simple use case diagrams for a school project.

When I remember right, there is a community edition of Magic Draw (the leading app?): https://www.magicdraw.com/

I already used Poseidon (Community) and ArgoUML, both not really convenient.

Recently I found a great tool called yEd: http://www.yworks.com/de/products_yed_about.htm This can be run via web start. Not really UML but use cases are perfect with yEd.

Apparently there is already something in Eclipse: http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/?project=uml2 I did use it to test. Not yet convincing usability.

Wikipedia says: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Unified_Modeling_Language_tools

Edit!

Don't miss the stackoverflow search top right of this page.

There's a pretty nice tool called UML Pad.
